Got rid of the automatic headlights, hopefully to prolong the life of the HID's. Takes 4-5 minutes and its free.

The GIF is looped, it makes it look like the switch goes back to auto but it doesn't. :confused:

That's all it takes- to remove the spring so the switch stays in the "OFF" position? Are they 100% off or do they still come on when you unlock it with the fob or turn the engine off and or take the key out, etc.?


Those pictures are missing. Is this the spring piece you remove? Does the knob still "clock" into each position or does it just roll smooth with no resistance?

Decided to sell my 2007 LT, so I've taken off my 22" Texas Edition Rep's to sell separately. I picked up a 2010 PPV this weekend to take its place. Looking for a center console, steering wheel, and some headlights (or just new lenses).



What are some other things you guys have found useful in your PPV/SSV? Are the factory head units the same in all of these? (is the Bose system just speaker replacements?) I was thinking of getting an iPod interface as well, maybe picking up some of the front foglight brake ducts.

Anyone have any insight on the questions or suggestions?

Is the DIC plug and play also? I definitely miss that feature, even better if its plug and play.

And those trim pieces left/right of the airbag and worm, but the rubber wheel itself has separated from the metal frame at the top of the wheel, I guess from some white knuckle driving my SHP. Sounds like I'll just order a loaded wheel and be set.

People are pretty proud of factory consoles, they are from $400-600 on eBay.....but I know I'll need to suck it up since I do want one.

I actually like the quiet/stealth of the factory system, at least for the moment. I am getting the front glass tinted 20% to match the rears, and the windshield done 40%. That will be done Sunday.

The bigger element of surprise from this questionable SHP vehicle while on the road will come when I get the train horns install. :) That might happen Saturday...
I bought a CC, drivers seat and the entire back seat for $600 from a guy in Daytona Beach.
